Complete Proximal Long Head Biceps Tendon Rupture in an Elite 17-year-Old Softball Pitcher: A Case Report.

Case: This case report describes the successful treatment of a year-round teenage softball pitcher who sustained a proximal biceps tendon rupture who underwent successful subpectoral tenodesis. To our knowledge, this is the only reported case of such an injury occurring in an underhand throwing teenage athlete.

Conclusion: This case highlights an unusual instance of a sport-related injury in an adolescent softball pitcher, suggesting that the softball pitch in elite athletes may put similar stress on the shoulder to overhead throwing athletes over time and further demonstrating that patients may continue to have success at elite levels of competition after tenodesis.

Comparison of daytime and nighttime supine gastroesophageal reflux by pH monitoring of individuals with clinical suspicion of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

This study aims to compare pHmetric characteristics of diurnal and nocturnal supine reflux. We studied 500 consecutive individuals with clinical suspicion of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) who underwent esophageal high-resolution manometry and prolonged ambulatory pH monitoring. Patients were classified with supine GERD pattern when the percentage of acid reflux time in the supine position was equal to or greater than 2.

The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease in named manometric patterns of dysmotility according to the Chicago Classification 4.0.

Esophageal motility disorders (EMD) may be considered primary disorders only in the absence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). If GERD is present, treatment should be directed toward correction of the abnormal reflux. The actual prevalence of GERD in manometric dysmotility patterns according to the new Chicago Classification 4.
